You are right about DOC attachments, but that is a binary attachment, which is why I chose to say "non-binary" attachments, even if that is probably not a good classifcation. You are also right that messages in "sent" will show RTF attachments inline. Anyway, problem number 1 is more of a cosmetic one. The real problem is number 2, which forces me to send all "non-binary" attachments zipped up to make sure the recipients are able to detach the message (there is no problem with zip-files). regards, Jan -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Jan Eri ~~ Protector AS ~~ Norway Work: http://www.protector-group.no/ Priv: http://janeri.com/
